Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans do not trust women.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

“Alexa, change the president.”

    Well, unless someone is strategically withholding bids so they can jump in at the last minute, it looks like HinTN will be taking the quilt home!
